I hope they throw the book at him.
Damn – you beat me to it.
Book him Dano.
With help he may turn over a different page
Or a new leaf?
The DPP should have no difficulty presenting the Book of Evidence at arraignment.
Surprised an arts and antiques unit exists :/
Was he booked
He was so overdue returning his library books, that they are now historic.
The book thief
I believe one of items was called Booking Bronco!
*Insert book related joke*
Take a leaf out of my book and just borrow the book.
Sticky fingers are bad for book reading, I think
It’s sticky pages you need to be careful of.
Some book worm!
Now Tony, you’ve had your fun. Time for your bedtime book.
This dude will be listed in my black book!
Well this guy won’t win the Booker Prize.
The Irish banks have booked much heavier losses.
Lol
Is it true that the National Library had written off the missing books?
I never trusted double entry book keeping.
Schhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
His booking for Christmas has been confirmed in mountjoy.
The Book, the Thief, The Wife and her Lover is the name of the film version of this to come out in 2016.
As Groucho Marx said, Outside of a dog, mans best friend is a book… Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read
No doubt a “hot iron employee”
